Psychedelics linked to reductions in suicide and distress

I realized recently that I release much more content on a regular basis that you guys never actually

get an alert for. For instance, I try to keep my news stories up to date, add new music, humorous anecdotes or eye candy whenever possible. I even add more games and activities, on top of all the boring writing. So I’m going start highlighting for a limited time each new page I create with a post so that you get the message. You’ll have to keep coming back often to find out about additions to pre-existing pages, like Sock Junky, Drug Porn or Awesome Websites. If you haven’t checked some of the other sections out, I encourage you to do so. There is so much content, you could blow a whole afternoon 😉 Peace, Love & Rock ‘n Roll.

“People who have used psychedelic drugs are less likely to suffer from depression, psychological distress, or suicidal thinking, according to a new study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology.

The research was led by Peter Hendricks, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Survey responses from over 190,000 adults were analyzed and the respondents were divided into two groups — lifetime psychedelic users and non-users. Lifetime users were defined as those who had ever, even once, tried DMT, ayahuasca, mescaline, psilocybin mushrooms, or LSD. 13.6% of survey respondents fell into this category (percentages have been weighted to correct for confounding variables).

Classic psychedelics remain Schedule I substances…rendering clinical research with these drugs extremely difficult to conduct.

Psychedelic users showed a significantly lower likelihood of recent psychological distress, as well as less suicidal thinking and fewer suicide attempts, than non-users. Users were 36% less likely to have attempted suicide in the past year. CLICK BELOW TO READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE>>>>
